Le CEN est très fier de travailler avec les dynamiques membres de la communauté de Kangiqsualujjuaq qui ont, une fois de plus, démontré leur leadership en étant nominé pour le prix Inspiration Arctique 2019 pour leur projet: Nunami Sukuijainiq: A Youth Arctic Ecology Land Camp Program. Vous trouverez plus d'information sur leur projet ici-bas. Nous leur souhaitons la meilleur des chances.
Nunami Sukuijainiq is a land-based and hands-on science education program designed for Nunavik youth. With this project, youth from all Inuit communities in Nunavik would have the opportunity to participate in Arctic ecology land camps which focus on marine and freshwater edible resources, hydrology, entomology, contaminants, permafrost and the ecology of lakes, plants and Arctic char in rapidly changing northern environments. The project would also provide mentoring opportunities for Inuit youth already enrolled in post-secondary science programs across Inuit Nunangat. To inspire other Arctic communities and regions, short documentary films would be produced during the ecology land camps. With the participation of Elders, local experts and researchers, Nunami Sukuijainiq aims to stimulate and nurture an interest in science in Inuit youth and to help them develop valuable skills as future environmental leaders in Nunavik.
